Failure distribution 1

Failure Distribution

Reliability function
Reliability is the probability that a system (component) will function
over time period t.

R(t) = Pr{T  t}
Where R(t) is the probability that the time to failure greater than or
equal to t. R(t) is knows as Reliability function.

Failure functions
F(t) = 1-R(t) = Pr { T < t }
Such that F(0) = 0 and limit F(t) = 1
F(t) is known as failure cumulative distribution function

Failure probability density function


This function describe the shape distribution function
1.0
F(t)

For a given failure density function f(t)


t
f(t)

Failure time t
Mean time to failure (MTTF)
Failure distribution 2

It is mean of the failure probability distribution function, f(t)

Median time to failure


R(tmed) = 0.5 = Pr {T  tmed}
It is the time when 50% of the failure occurs. This value may be
preferred for the highly skewed failure distribution

Mode time to failure


It is the most likely observed failure time

f(tmode) = max f(t), for t greater than 0 and less than infinity.

f(t)

tmode tmedian MTTF t

Hazard rate function


This function describes the instantaneous rate of failure, which is an
alternative way of describing a failure distribution.
Failure distribution 3

Depending upon the characteristics of (t), the failure rate may be


increasing, decreasing, or constant function.
In other words, (t), hazard rate or failure rate function, uniquely
determines the reliability function.

Cumulative failure rate over a period of time t

Conditional reliability
R(t | To) = Pr{ T>T0 + t | T> To} = Pr{ T>T0+t } / Pr{T> To}
= R(To+t) / R(To)
